Although the class overruns sometimes, please could all parents ensure they are at the dojo ready to collect their child by the scheduled finishing time. If a child needs to go before a class is finished, please ensure you inform the Instructor when dropping them off.

 

These rules are not exhaustive and common sense and sociable behaviour should prevail at all times
